The purpose of the Gerald A Bartell Community Theatre Foundation, Inc (GABCTF) is to equip, operate, and maintain a live-performance facility created by the Foundation for the benefit of the Participating Theatre Companies (PTCs), and additional publicly supported organizations of the same class, so as to assist them in carrying out the purpose for which they are organized.
The Gerald A. Bartell Community Theatre Foundation is a unique collaboration between five theatre companies.
Within our walls, Madison artists tell stories about themselves and their world. Audience members are transformed, enlightened, entertained, and invited into the conversation about who and what this community is.
The Foundation is governed by a board of directors selected in an co-op style arrangement practically unique in the United States. The Foundation supports Madison Theatre Guild, Mercury Players Theatre, StageQ, and Strollers Theatre.
